The Minoan eruption of Santorini was a large-magnitude natural event. However, in terms of scale it ranks smaller in erupted volume and eruptive intensity than the historical eruption of Tambora in 1815 AD, and smaller in sulphur emission and, by inference, climatic effects than both the Tambora and Mt. Pinatubo, 1991, eruptions.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. For the band, see Linea Aspera (band) . The linea aspera (Latin: rough line) is a ridge of roughened surface on the posterior surface of the femur, to which are attached muscles and intermuscular septum.Its margins diverge above and below. number of muscles attach to the linea aspera: 1  From the medial lip of the linea aspera and its prolongations above and below, the vastus medialis originates. 2  From the lateral lip and its upward prolongation, the vastus lateralis takes origin.
SCALENE MUSCLES. The scalenes are a series of muscles that work like scaffolding, connecting the cervical vertebrae to the thoracic cage. The scalenes originate on the transverse processes of the cervical vertebrae (C02âC07) and attach to the first and second ribs of the thoracic cage.kay, basically they let me stuff my face, but the neck muscles do much more than that! The neck muscles (and neck anatomy on the whole) are responsible for head movement, stabilizing the upper region of the body, assisting in swallowing, helping to elevate the rib cage during inhalation, and more.
